automatic replacement for busses not working

[o0Julia0o]

hi , i can´t replace cars, but trains.



there is written: "No Replacement" I have 200.000 on my account. What´s the problem?

---------------------------------------------:german:---------------------------------------------
Züge kann ich automatisch ersetzen lassen, Busse jedoch nicht:

Da steht dann "Keine Ersetzung". 200.000 habe ich auf dem Konto. Woran kann das liegen?

[why does replacement for busses fail to work]

seems that there's no vehicle (no other bus) available which your current busses could be replaced by. Mind that autoreplace is not autorenew (replacement by the same model, but just new). The default bus models become available in 1929, 1964, 1986 and 2008; thus depending on the year you might still need to wait a bit till you have a replacement option.

Please mind that this forum's language is English. The German forum can be found over here.

ah o.k. thx. That´s the reason. But will there be an autoreplacement-option in the future?

And how can i keep the route, of a bus if i manually replace it?

There already is an autoreplacement feature, look for 'autoreplace' at the wiki.

Edit: With the help of Planetmaker, I now understand what you are asking (thanks !)

When a new bus becomes available, the autoreplace will work again. If you are using the default vehicles (which seems to be the case), the wiki has a list of vehicles with dates when they become available.

If you change it manually, the orders should remain available. But since the autoreplace window does not show alternative vehicles, there are none, so I don't understand what vehicle you want to replace it with.

yes o.k., and how does the replacement work? Do i need to edit somethin in the game-files or can i make it ingame?

No, you just need to go to your road vehicle list, and from there choose "Replace Vehicles".
On the left hand side of the window you'll be shown the current (and past) models of busses/lorries used and on the right when you select one of your current models you'll have all the available vehicles you can replace with =)
But from what I can see from your screenshot you really don't have any available vehicles that you can replace that with ^^
Might I ask what in-game year you're in at the moment?

EDIT: I think you're actually referring to Auto-Renew. Though I don't see your vehicles as old, if you want to know this, you'll have to go under "Advanced Settings" and from there you have the Vehicles sub-section under which Auto-Renew 's settings are present =)

You're welcome, have fun playing the game. Also if you're not that experienced with OpenTTD, you can look around on YouTube for tutorials, I made a post with a YT playlist with tutorial videos, they're all in english, but you might be able to understand them =)

I have also spotted some German OpenTTD vids on YouTube. No links present but I'll bet they are pretty easy to find.
